👉 Eyed fumes are toxic vapors or aerosols that can cause severe irritation to the eyes, leading to symptoms such as redness, burning, and watery discharge. Exposure typically occurs through inhalation, often in occupational settings like chemical manufacturing, painting, or cleaning industries, where workers may be unaware of the hazards until they experience discomfort or more serious eye damage. These fumes can also result from improper handling of certain substances, such as solvents or pesticides, and can lead to long-term issues if not managed properly, including chronic conjunctivitis or even corneal damage. Immediate removal from the source and rinsing with water for at least 15 minutes can help alleviate symptoms, but professional medical attention is crucial for severe cases.
